"…The volunteer counsel [for the Stratfordian view], who have put more passion than reason in their arguments, and seem more satisfied that the crowd is with them than they are with the strength of their case, might as well abandon their line of defence, which has been to accuse you of being half-educated, cranky and insane . . . The personage to whom you assign the just fame of these marvelous productions seems to have been in every way born, educated and equipped for such a work. he had the requisite learning, the speculative aptitude and habit, the rhetorical skill and poetic feeling that the most cursory reading discloses as the everwhere dominant tone in this grandest diapason of human speech."
--George Talbot, author and retired lawyer, 1904
"In wit . . . He [Bacon] never had an equal"
- Mcaulay
"Lord Bacon was the greatest genius that England, or perhaps any country, ever produced."
-- Alexander Pope , 1741
"We are all Baconians here."
--Rev. H. R. Haweis, adding that he had never met anyone who, having thoroughly investigated the matter, came to a different conclusion.
Can anyone provide any similar evidence to anywhre near the same extent showing another candidate with as much recognized close language and knowledge likenesses between their candidate with the Shakespeare works? I haven't seen any.
